Meanwhile I can do all that what you describe on Signal just as easily as that. A friend of mine often sends me Instagram reels on signal because I don’t have any insta account. And I actually don’t know anyone who has or at least uses a fb account anymore xD

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
I remember the days when I spent time convincing people to use chat apps. The last one that stuck was WhatsApp.
I’ve since stopped installing new chat apps because people won’t use them.
WhatsApp just works. Wanna video call my Mum? Push a button. Wanna send a Lemmy meme to my mates? Yeah it’s 3 taps.
I open up Facebook on me birthday and press the ❤️ on the birthday messages then shut it down and don’t use it for another year.
But if I do that with WhatsApp then I don’t hear from people I actually care about.
I actually have a friend that refuses to use WhatsApp like I do with FaceFuck. “How does she do it then?” I hear you ask.
She uses Facebook Messenger.
That’s the hold Meta has on our communications
